""I really am scared to death about what's going on in this country. I really believe it is Code Red," he said. "We won't have a country. We won't have an election that's fair and free if we don't stand up. We won't. There will not be a fair and free election. It'll be a Putin election. Was it 87% or is it 87.3%? That's what Trump wants." "All the pardoning, all the, this, this great grift -- the biggest, most corrupt administration in history. Not just the $400 million plane, but the billion dollars of your tax money, as we're cutting food stamps to pay for the damn plane so he can take that toy home with his foundation when he's 93 or whatever he's done with his fourth or fifth term." "I'm deeply concerned about it. And guys like [former Trump campaign manager Steve] Bannon, they're not screwing around. They're not screwing around." "I'm afraid we're going to lose our country. And where the hell is everybody? Why aren't we standing up to principle?" Newsom asked. "I'm disgusted by what's happened in this country. I'm disgusted by the supine Congress. I'm disgusted by how the private sector is conducting themselves. I'm disgusted by universities selling their soul and law firms. I'm disgusted that people are not more outraged."

-Gavin Newsom

I agree...but i feel like most dems and even a few republicans alike were hootin' and hollerin' this in 24 and it didn't do anything to sway the needle. Bolded part was funny cause its true

My horse race view:

Newsome and Pritzker holding steady

Shapiro and Buttigieg falling behind

Mamdani not eligible but I think he’s paving the way for democratic messaging and style going forward

Jeffries might be the dark horse. He’s been coming off a lot more “authentic” and pissed off recently

11/12/2025 3:53:17 PM

No chance for Jeffries.

^^Agreed. I can't stand the way he moves his arms as he speaks.

I swear Newsom just seems so slimy. But I guess that's what's in now

Pritzker or Shapiro would be my top 2 choices I think.


My tiers
Tier 1- Pritzker, Shapiro
Tier 2- Newsom, Buttgreg
Tier 3- Beshear, Harris

If it was Shapiro, maybe Beshear would help relax the ppl that are afraid of jews. Beshear could also help ppl relax about buttgregs homosexuality

" Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25 https://www.texastribune.org/2025/11/14/texas-tribune-festival-pete-buttigieg-2/ "

^ I feel Newsom IS slimy but he’s saying the right things and saying he’ll do the right things, and he has the credibility to make things happen fast. It took Trump go through a whole term to learn where all the levers are where newsom should know

Saw a blurb on the chyron that said Shapiro of PA has like 30 million saved up. The way disaffected Trump voters are so overwhelmingly anti-jew, I can't see how they'd ever stomach voting for him

I’m legit surprised at how bad of a job Walz is doing managing this. He seems stuck between the typical Democrat helping cops snuff out the protests, and using the protests as leverage to push ice out through other legal and procedural means.

1/16/2026 1:07:27 AM

You're surprised by what? Walz is as typical Democrat as it gets.

He's too busy mismanaging the fraud scandal to focus on this.

1/16/2026 7:19:22 AM

Walz is forever a disappointment in my eyes since the VP debate

Kelly thinking. I think he should run. The slate itself is marketing for the party and he’s a good addition

another example of Newsom sucking

1/29/2026 10:39:05 PM

Yeah the field is kinda falling apart. Walz is out, Shapiro can’t break through, Crockett not focusing, haven’t heard anything from Buttigieg in a while, I think Pritzker might be in the Epstein files

Minnesota mayor Frey could be a sleeper

I feel like Mark Kelly is looking stronger but I also think he’s just too old.

1/29/2026 11:14:24 PM

Kelly too old? he's 61.

1/29/2026 11:43:27 PM

Okay he looks a lot older then

Thanks for screwing up the dimensions of the thread. When you see you've done that, it is courteous to edit your post to resolve.

Your post would be equally impactful with fewer O's. Which is to say, not very.

he misspoke around 52 seconds in. he must have meant 2015 not 2025, cause he announced 2024 run before midterms in 2022

2/19/2026 9:12:25 PM

Harris is more likely the final candidate I guess. Just like Trump. Failed but tries to make it again.

2/20/2026 12:32:19 PM

This time she would have to win a real primary.

Won't there come a time when we can out religion the right? Even with the lgbtqmf ppl etc?

Difficult since the right uses fake religious fervor.

Sounds easy when you say it that way

2/22/2026 9:27:28 AM

But the people at the lowest levels don't realize it's all fake. They think they are doing what God wants based on the messaging they receive.

Isn't the whole pretense for war having sympathy for Iranians?

[Edited on February 22, 2026 at 11:36 PM. Reason : ? ]

2/22/2026 11:35:50 PM

Oh, I interpreted that statement as referring to the Iranian government rather than the citizens.

Who would say they have no sympathy for abused citizens?

2/23/2026 2:15:10 AM

It’s a weak statement imo bc there’s obviously no cause for war with Iran. Any goals we need to achieve can be done diplomatically.
